Many fans wrote Serge Gnabry off when he failed to make it big at Arsenal. His career took a massive jump when he moved to the Bundesliga in 2016 and played for Werder Bremen.
With a fine performance at the club, Gnabry earned a move to Bayern Munich in the summer of 2017 but was loaned out to Hoffenheim.
He returned to Bayern the following season and has been with them ever since and has been quite deadly on the wings. Over time, his goal-scoring abilities have only got better, which has turned out to be quite useful for Bayern. He has scored 59 goals and made 37 assists in 153 appearances for the club in all competitions so far.
